  1. This issue came up for me today. 'Use case': I want to copy a list of notes into another document (Google doc) so that the URL and created date is visible as well as the note title. Should be easy since I believe Evernote data is be stored in a structured and therefore accessible way, but it seems to have no mechanism for useful extractions. My manual solution uses Notion: Import a selected notebook folder from Evernote to Notion. 1. Use IMPORT (at the bottom of the sidepanel) Note: Notion only imports notebook folders from Evernote. If you are creating a list of Evernotes from different notebooks or a search list you will need to create a separate temporary notebook folder, copy your search list there and then import that new folder using Notion 2. Select Evernote as the application source Select the notebook you want to copy and paste 3. Click 'Import' 4. Now use Notion's EXPORT action available from the 3dots menu (@ screen top right) 5. Ensure 'Markdown & CSV' is selected 6. Click 'Export'. CSV file is saved to default location. 7. Double click the file to open in a spreadsheet and take it from there! I think that's it - any bugs/changes let me know! Update 1: I haven't tried any of this on my tablet or phone yet ... Update 2: It can be messy! Notion does not like Evernote's formats so graphics and any posts configured as HTML content mostly do not import. Only remedy is to edit posts to remove rogue content. Can be tedious but it's not the sort of thing I need to do very often so may be worth it for the odd case. Update 3: I tried Notion some years ago when it first appeared. Liked it but already invested in Evernote and couldn't see major reason to change. However, I now see that Notion has some useful qualities that I may have more use for so I'll use it for a while to see how it goes. Update 4: Tried out desktop web clipper - works OK - and the phone/tablet app works OK too. NOTE to Evernote: maybe the development road mapper should think about this - if I could have simply copied a list of note titles into another document with clearly demarked meta data (e.g. created date, URL, title etc) then I would not be considering a move to Notion! The weakest aspect of Evernote is how it organises its data and the tools it provides to inerrogate it (beyond search and tag I see nothing else?) Update 5: Just a note to say that then the exported CSV is opened in Excel the 'created date' is rather awkward, i.e. nothing like a date! It needs manual/macro editing ... more nuisance but relatively quick to fix (unless you can live with it ...)
  2. Thanks gazumped. The Attach link was helpful thogh added to the puzzle. I never thought to add a GD file link to a note and try it that way. Bizarrely, the link works fine! i.e. paste a GD file link into a note, click the link, the file opens. But the Insert action still does not not display google drive contents as expected ... (which would be useful) I have submitted a support ticket, #3504748. Interestingly, as i said to Ray, the calendar didn't work either but I just tried adding the widget to the home page and now it works fine! Doesn't seem to pick up the Google to do list but that really isn't important to me ... Thanks for suggestions.
  3. Thanks Ray A mystery! Have tried everything I can think of: disabled virus checker, firewall, Google sync, turned off all chrome extensions No ad blocker installed (don't use Edge anyway). Also, I just connected Google Calendar and that does not work either! Just a blank calendar shows with no entries. ... the more I can't do this the more I want to!! 😳 Seriously, if you have any obvious suggestions please let me know, but this issue is probably not that important, just a handy feature (since I do nearly all my writing in Google Docs it could be useful to link that with some of the sources I am using in Evernote ...)
  4. Hello Ray Thanks for the advice. I have tried turning off both Windows Defender and the Firewall but that made no difference ... same effect. Windows opens for a short while, then closes. I am not sure else to try. I am runing Drive Sync as well. Tried pausing that, but again no change. I am pretty sure I have no other tools/apps on board hat might affect this action. ??? 🤔
  5. Hi there Thanks for replies. I am using desktop evernote version 10.34.4 on W10. Yes I have a Drive account Google Drive is a connected service listed in Account > Connected services - but I am not sure if there is something else I need to do. Tried disconnecting and then connectng again - sucessfully it would seem, but the insert window still closes after a few seconds wihtout showing any Drive files. Thanks
  6. Hi all I tried the Google Drive insert in a a note the other day (desktop version using teh + button). Nothing happens! A window opens and then closes! I looked ths up in Help but all it says it on first use user will be asked to authenticate. This did not, and does not, happen. S, does not seem to work. Any advice? Thanks for readin
  7. Hi all - just an update on the printing issue. Following advice from forum members here I finally got in touch with Evernote support a few weeks ago. Thanks! EN is working on it. One issue that some of use have noticed is that when printing a note directly, lines at page breaks are chopped vertically (top half of text before page break, bottom half after). This is a known issue and EN are already working on a fix. The PDF issue where chunks of text are dropped (particularly at page breaks it would seem) is more mysterious but EN seems to agree that there is an issue (at least for me) although they cannot reproduce it on their set up (and some others here have said the same thing). They have my log files and sample printouts. Will let you know any of any updates. 🤔
  8. Ok have pasted text into support ticket and await result! Note: I do not use the mobile app version - and I have no need for it as all my work using this tool is desktop based. Somewhere I think I read that the mobile app has a 'send activity log to self' action which, if true, would be handy if replicated in the desktop app. Anyway, I'll wait for a reply from EN before I look in here again. In the meantime will carry on with my several workarounds! Thanks for all tips and advice so far from members 😎
  9. Thansk again @PinkElephant. I think the word for this design is 'byzantine'! I'll paste my feedback into a support ticket and see what happens.
  10. @PinkElephant ... OK I didn't get that far but it seems a bit crazy to me. The activity log system is not well explained (three types are offered - difference between them?) and it's not clear where the logs are stored. It's a bit too low level for me and I haven't got time to fiddle around with that stuff ... but I guess I'll have to try ... *sigh*. Can you give a hint as to the file path for the logs? Many thanks
  11. I have just sent the below via the feedback link in the desktop app. I don't really expect any useful reply having done this several times over the past year or so. When the feedback page is completed all you get is this bland response: "We thank you for your time spent taking this survey.Your response has been recorded." Which really does not inspire any confidence that it will even be read, let alone analysed or responded to. Text of feedback sent earlier today follows: As many users report in the forum thread 'Entire note is not getting exported to pdf' there are some real and repeatable problems with printing output either from PDF, directly from notes, or from exported HTML pages. Content is dropped from exported PDF more often than not, usually involving a lost page. Direct printing of a note results in the last line of a page split vertically across the page break.* Exported HTML pages also drop content, sometimes as much as a whole page. Several users report this problem but some feedback from EN addressed to the forum would be helpful. One user reports that EN has looked at it the issue but as far they know there is no problem having tested it on the EN systems. But that is contradicted by user experience. I, and others, can assure EN that printing output from EN is difficult and very unreliable. Please: (i) investigate this issue thoroughly, perhaps by replicating a range of typical user setups; and (ii) please provide feedback on the topic via the forums as well as personally to users like myself who have reported the issue through app feedback or the online 'get support' pages (which, by the way, do not seem to be designed adequately so as to allow users to report issues in detail. Thanks. Not holding my breath for a helpful response 😒
  12. Thanks @snew4 and @PinkElephant - I've tried both the links you suggest but all I get is a form made up of drop down fields. Options provided do not cover the issue! What's needed is a full text field in order to explain the issue and perhaps tag it usefully. Makes no sense! EN not great at support?
  13. Thanks @snew4 I'll try that route. That's a fairly common issue. Of course it works on developers systems but that's really only a minimum condition .... Surely one important reason for forums like this is to get feedback from the field. If users say there's an issue it needs proper investigation ... thanks again.
  14. This detail is true for all printed output - as you say an option to hide the note title would be good. I recall that the earlier version of EN (before the Great Change) only had a note title and did not repeat it as part of the note text ...
  15. Seems quite a few users experience this issue. I'm still not clear how to 'raise a support ticket' as some replies have suggested. Does anyone know how to do this?
